Microfluidics differs significantly from the technologies used in breweries, beverage factories, and food processing plants. As the name suggests, the flow rate in pipes is extremely small, with pipe sizes typically ranging from 1/16 inch to a few millimeters. Fluid control, primarily focusing on pressure, temperature, and flow rate control, requires highly precise metering equipment and extremely high accuracy. Especially in systems involving highly toxic or explosive substances, the small size of the pipes can significantly reduce risks. In industries such as cosmetics, for example, more accurate addition of active ingredients and mixing of formulations offers a significant advantage, providing flexible possibilities for various personalized products.
